K.T : *Crack* Mind to explain this?
S.G : GYAAA!!
U.K : !!!!! (HOLY-!)
Y.S & M.T : EEK!!!
S.H : T-T-T-T-Tou.. ka?
K.T : Do you have any business with Ayato?
S.H : A-Ayato? W-Who? 
K.T : Don't joke with me. I heard that all of you yelled my shitty little brother's name.
S.H : Oof.. W-Well that's.. (HELP ME!!!)
K.T : Spill it out. Now. *Crack*
S.G : *whisper* Uh-Oh.. It seems we're in lion's den now.
K.T : *glare to Shirazu* So? Wanna me bite you?
S.G : GAH! SHE HEARD ME?!?
K.T : *Sigh* Explain it to me before I lose my patience.
S.H : W-Well.. That's..

Sasaki explained everything to her, except about why He asked Yoriko in the first place, her parents, and the reason why her hair turned into white.
He knew there's something happen in the past and She would not tell to the others easily.

K.T : ... I see. I appreciate what you guys tried to do, but... Don't do it again.
Everyone : .. Eh?
K.T : It's unnecessary. This is my problem, not yours.
Y.S : BUT MAMAN TRIED TO HELP YOU!
K.T : I know it. But still, I will solved it by myself.
S.H : But Touka-

She pinned him to the wall, shut his mouth with her hand.

"Haise.. If you insist doing that, I will hate you. Don't make me to do that."

She let go of him, leaving Sasaki and his friends behind.
Sasaki falls on his feet, his friends help him to stand immediately.

She will.. hate me? 
Ugh... In the end, I always make people hate me.
No.. No.. I don't  want this happen again.
I.. need to apologize to her.

-----

The next day, Sasaki looking for Touka. He want to apologize to her.
He found her standing outside her class. He called her, but She went inside.
He thought that She didn't hear him calling. So, He back to his class.
After school, He met her on locker room. He tried to talk with her but She ignored him.
And finally He realized that She avoided him even She doesn't reply him if they met.

-----  

Saturday, a month since Touka ignored Sasaki.
Sasaki lie down on his bed, depressing about Touka kept ignore him.
It's not She will hate him, She's already hate him since then.
He has tried everything so Touka can forgive him, but She didn't give any response.
To release from his messy mind, Sasaki went outside and looking for a coffee shop.
Drinking coffee is one of his hobby since He was in junior high school.
He wandered to 20th ward, He found a little coffee shop named anteiku.
Anteiku.. An unique name, He entered the shop then He greeted by a waitress.
A girl.. who's really familiar to him. A girl who never smile and her white hair.
Both of them stunned, can't say something for a while.

S.H : Tou...ka?
K.T : Haise? What are you- Uh.. Please, have a seat here.

She showed his seat, a table with two chairs, it's located besides the window.
She gave him the menu, then take a note of his order.

S.H : Eh.. So, you're working here.
K.T : What? Have a problem with that?
S.H : NO! No!  I mean.. Uh- You're looking good with that uniform!
K.T : ... Are you hitting on me?
S.H : *blush* WHA?! NO! THAT'S- #!$%^&
K.T : Just kidding, please wait a moment.

He saw her went to the counter, making a coffee for him. After several minutes, He saw her again bringing his coffee.
He tried to say something, but She went away.
Then Sasaki heard an elder calling Touka, said something to her.
She nodded then came to Sasaki's table. She told him to wait her till noon.
Sasaki agreed without asking anything to her.

While waited for her, Sasaki read the book that He brought with.
One hour, two hours, three hours have passed, He still busy with his book.
He kept focus on his book till He felt someone sat in front of him.
It's Touka, in her casual clothes. She's sipping her coffee quietly.

Sasaki put his book on his bag, they sipping their coffee in silent.
No one talked, till one of them started the conversation.

K.T : Well? Do you want to tell me something?
S.H : Uh- T-Touka, I want to apologize..
K.T : I know it. You already said it for a month, everyday.
S.H : Then why you avoided me? Do you angry to me?
K.T : ... I'm not.
S.H : Or.. Do you hate me?
K.T : What? Who said that? I don't hate you.
S.H : Then why?
K.T : ... For some reason. Someday I will tell you, Haise. I'm not lying, I don't hate you. So stop apologize, okay?
S.H : !! Yeah! Hey, Touka. You're really a kind person. Haha~
K.T : ... Huh? Wha-what are saying? Jeez... *look at the clock* I'm sorry Haise, I need to go now.. I have a promise with Yoriko today.
S.H : Yeah. I must to go too. Next time I visit this shop, can I have the coffee that you make? It's really delicious.
K.T : ... *faint smile* Yeah. Thank you very much, Haise. See you later.

After She left, Sasaki still sat on his chair. His mind become blank, He can't believe what He just saw.

... Did She just smile?
